My sidebar is a bit dynamic: the more articles I post, the larger it gets. However, the sidebar is also fixed, which makes it impossible to see its bottom at times(when I decrease the browser window or when there are a lot of articles). How do I make scrolling possible through the sidebar ? Here is my CSS file and the sidebar is mostly represented by the div with class= "container2"

How do I make scrolling possible with the sidebar so that I can see all of its contents ?
You have to set a height on your sidebar and then tell the overflowing content to scroll. Something like this should work:
